A SENSATION.

Why is it that three bottles OF B. B. B.,
are sold in Atlanta to one of any other
blood remedy, and twice as much consumed
in the State of Georgia as any other prepar.
alton? No one need take our word but
simply ask che druggists. Ask the people.
They are competent witnesses, Six houses
in Atlanta are buying B. B. B., In five and
ten gross lots, and some OF them buy as
often as every two or three months Why
these unprecedented sales here at home
with so little advertising? Modesty forbids
us making reply. Had B. b. B., been be.
fore the public quarter or half century,
1t would not be necessary to be bolstered
up with crutches of page advertisements
now. Merit will conquer and down money.

Long distance telephoning has become
such an accomplished fact that at the
principal pay telephone stations in this
city long distance telephones have re-
placed the ordinary telephones. and con-
nectiOn a now be made with Boston
and Philadelphia. H. L. Stoddard. the
New York correspondent of The Philadel-
phia Press, says that at his office i'll this
city he has secured connection with his
office in Philadelphia by a long distance
telephone, over which he nightly trans
mits all his news instead of using tele-
graph service. The Philadelphia News
has a similar telephone connection with
this city. The distance from New York
20 Philadelphia is ninety-Gve miles, but
the sound of the voice is Transmitted
much more clearly than by telephone in
this city, where the induction caused bv
the enormous number of wires covering
the city closely is so great as to seriously
disturb transmission. The use of the tcle-
phone in the sending Of news has not
been sufficiently tested to compare it
thoroughly with Geographic service, but
Mr.. Stoddard says that it has many adj
vantaEes, and predicts that it will come
into general use.-New York Tribune.

There is a peculiar story in relation to
the large, creamy looking blocks of candy
that have been peddled around the street,
for the last month or so, and a story, too,
With a romance.
Several months ago a Turk strolled into
an uptown confectionery and made some
purchases in the candy line. He re-
marked after eating a few that the flavor
was pretty good, but far inferior to a
certain connection known to his country
men. The proprietor began to grow in
terested, and before the Turk had left
agreed to employ two of his cousins, who
were candy makers in Turkey, if lie lthe
Turk would import them. Some two
months later the Turks arrived on the
the steamship Helvetia. BY relating some
wonderful yarns of their abilities as
candy makers the emigration commits
sioners allowed them to pass, although
they had doubts as to whether or not they
were contract labor"
They went to the confectioner and for
several weeks made real Turkish candy"
on a salary. Two weeks ago they
struck for higher wages, and not get
ting them left in a huff. They hired a
little place over ON the east side and put
out a gaudy business sign.-Ncw York

Outline of the Presidents Message.

OuGllne OF Ine HreSlCenCS meSBaEe'
New YORK, Dec. "A Washington
special to the Tribune says: The presi-
dent, at the meeting Of the cabinet yes
terlay, submitted a rough draft Of his
annual message to congress-. 1t was fully
and freely discussed for four hours, and
will again be submitted on Friday to the
cabinet IN the form in which it is sent to
congress-. Meanwhile speculation is rite
as to the contents of what will probably
be one of the longest official documents
ever written by Mr.. Cleveland, Those
who know say it will contain %, 900
words. From excellent sources it is
ascertained that Mr.. Bayard's department
will absorb the lions share of the mes
sage. He will announce in the
first place either the result of the labors
OF the fisheries commission or the
TACT that they are still at work
There is an impression prevailing that the
commission will sit for the last timo on
Saturday next. 1t indicates that the ne
COLLATION. of "a new treaty has been found
impracticable. What the president will
probably be able 10 in his mes
sage Is that the commission has agreed
upon an interpretatIo lou of the treaty of
1918. A revision OF the naturalization
laws, the establishment of a central bureau
Of registration of naturaliZed citizens, and
a hint as to the ACCESSIBILITY of restricting
by federal statute Immigration of an uude-
slrable kind, are among the topics dis
cussed by the president in view of the
recent anarchist demonstration in various
parts of the country. Regarding the
tariff and other questions of finance, the
president will have little to say, the pres
ent plan beng. it is said, to let the secre
tary OF the treasury deal with both ques-
tons an crtenSO in his annual rep 1T. In
a general and very guarded way the presi
dent recommends, it is understood. a
liberal enlargement of the free list, men
tionlng however, by name, none of the
articles which in his opinion ought to be
placed there. Upon the wording of this
part of the message, much care and atten-
ton has been bestowed.
Among those to whom it has been read
outside of the cabinet, are Carlisle, Scott
and Watterson. Randall vas given no
opportunity to inspect 1t. A co1lication
OF the banking laws amended in the man
ner proposed by the comptroller of the
currency is recommended. The president,
1t is thought, will in a cautious way
recommend a liberal system of appropri-
atoms for the improvement of the Missis-
sippi river. He will likewise suggest, it
is believed, that appropriations for this
river be male separately, and not as
heretofore in the river and harbor bill,
which be has always regarded as an OBJ
ject of suspicion more or less. The repeal
of the pre- emption and timber culture
acts is urged in the strongest terms, and
the necessity for preserving the national
forests is pointed out. The Pacific rail.
ways. it is understood, will be the subject
of a special message later on.

Report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The first an
nua report of the interstate commerce
commission has been laid before the sec
rotary OF the interior. After dealing
briefly upon the magnitude of the interest
which the act undertakes to regulate. the
commission devOtts a dozen pages to an
historic sketch of the countrv's transpor,
tatiOn facilities from the pack horst and
canoe Of the earliest days to the mam-
moth institutions of the present year,
tracing back to their origin all thci r uses
and abuses. which finally led to the pass
age of the interstate act.
The commission says some of the rail
road practices which the act undertakes
to bring to an end have been common
among carriers by water also. and if
wrong in themselves might Justly be for
hidden in their case as well. The com
mission Is of the opinion that the express
business lone by the railroad companies
themselves is within the act, but whether
the express companies which are indie
pendent Of the railroads are within con
temptation Of the act is more doubtful.

railroads are, and the fact is land before
congress for such action as it may choose
to take.
The commission urges the desirability
Of uniform freight classification through
out, but doubst its ability to reach the
matter by legislation, while without it
there is a gradual appr"Nrh to uniformity
affected by the raii- 10 themselves.
The commits ion says the pooling of
freights and of railroad earnings, so far as
the commission has knowledge or infor-
nation on the subject, came to an end
when the act took effect, but as pooling
was only the effect of the several purposes
had in view. the forming of railroad asso-
CITATIONS and leading associations have not
been dissolved, but continued in exist

Among these objects are the making OF
regulations for uninterrupted and harmo-
Nous railroad communication and ex-
change of uafic within the territory en-
braced by their workings. Some regula-
tions in addition these made by law, are
almost, if not altogether indispensable.

GAS WILL BE CHEAPER.
A F%ahnehjeIm Incandescent Plant
For Cheyenne.
A Splendid IIum;nator For One
Third the Present Price.
Cheyenne Capital to Place Plants
In the West.

A wealthy New York syndicate has Just
placed a Fahneljelm incandescent gas
plant in Chicago. With consumers they
contract to furnish gas at the uniform
rate of so cents per 1000 feet for the first
three years, and reduce the price to IS
cents at the expiration of that time.
The patent for the process by which
this gas is produced, and the newly in
vented burners used, is owned in Ger
many, but American capitalists have pur
chased the right for almost every state
and territory in the Union, including
Wyoming.
A syndicate composed partially Of
Cheyenne business men has secured a ter
ritory including Wyoming, Colorado aud
Utah, and several plants will be in opera
ton at different points in the West early
next spring.
A representative of the company in
forms THE LEADER that Illuminating and
fuel gas can be furnished here by the new
process for 81 per I,OOC feet, The exit
ing tariff is So.
By the Fahnehielm method each ton Of
coal will yield 60. 900 feet of gas, as against
5000 now secured.
1t is more than probable that upon the
return of a leading Cheyenne man from
the East a new gas company will incor-
porate and commence business at once.
Denver has already been promised the
new discovery, and Leadville is demand
ing its introduction in the mountain city,
while every town OF any size in this sec
ton is making efforts to secure
the placing of a plant.
The Illuminating properties of the
Fa~hnehicln gas far exceed those of the
ordinary coal product. A burner is used
which causes the Jets to assume the APP
pe4rance of calcium lights, and to excel
in s%oftness and power the incandescent
electric light. This effect is due to the
burner. the most valuable feature of the
patent.
1t is sincerely hoped that owners of the
patents right for this section will not de
lay commencing operations. Cheap gas,
especially a quality which can be utilized
for domestic as well as Illuminating pur-
poses as one of the crying needs of the
west.
There need be no fear Of injury to the
oil, coal or prospective natural gas inter
ests of Central Wyoming. With ~increas-
lug demand there will always be a good
market fJr the valuable products of that
region.
Fahnehjelm, the inventor oft he Won
dcrful process, is the German Edison.
For the past ten years he has been a
prominent figure in the scientific world,
from time to time astonishing his fellow
investigators with the announcement of
remarkable discoveries. He is at present
%asslduously endeavoring to perfect an ar
rangement whereby gas may be used as
fuel on railroads, and promises to create a
revolution by attaining the desired result
in the near future.
In accordance with the requests Of the
Cheyenne gentlemen interested in the
scheme Their names are suppressed for the
